IMPEOVEMENT lll.. GEURNS.

To ALL Wnoii 1r MAY ooNoERN@ v v Beit known that l],J'J'0S1\`.PII jKEPLEI, of the -eity of Orawfcrdsvillc, in Montgomery county, und State of Indiano, have invented n. new and useful Improvement in Ohurns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, und exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to moire end use the same, reference being had to. the accompanying drawings, und to the letters of reference marked thereto, forming pnrt of this specification. v

The nature of. my invention consists Ain such an urrangementof mechanical powersor'devices as to enable milk to be churned into butter in afew minutes, extracting allthe butter from the mill-z, and depositing the butter seperate and apart from the milk. I

y My machine 'is so constructed as to be operated in the inost effect-ive '.unnncr, with a very slight exertion of force, whilst the operative parts can lie-removed in n few moments whenever it is desirable.

'lo enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

Figure 1 represents-.a top view of churn when open.

Figure 2 represcntssde elevation 'with the churn open. Figure 3 represents the doshlwheel. u Figure 4 represents' the topremoved from the churn. 'Figure 5 represents the sliding key, for holding,r thel end oi' th'e dash when placed in position. Figure 5 represents the cover of zinc to confino the milk from splushing when inuction. `Similar iiguresend letters indicate like pur-ts. v i A, in fig. 1, is zt'eoncavc breast, shielded with metzillic peints of`zinc. B is the bottom of the churn-bon, which is in the form-ofc Scroll, elevated in the Vmiddle, und forming. a,

descent from C C C to D D D, of nbout four inches, this giving a current from' the dash et the breast of the elurn. i

. Fig. 2, letter A, showsl the concave breast with the dash lremoved; letter G, the inn-in wheel; Oletter H,

'pir\. ion\\'heel, communicating with the dusli-i\'lieel by a socket-joint to -communicete the velocity required.- Letdash-.wheel ut pleasure.

uis operated upon :it a time, und the dash-wl1cel not only turns ensicntlmn it otherwise wonlthmt ter I is a spring-catch and screw, to retain' the pinion-wheel I-l in place during the Opern-tion oi churninff.

E is tbe portion which is perforated ot F ll', to allowl the il'ewo' ,the milk from the breast C to the con- Fig. 5 is a key, K, formed of tho dash-shaft, und is fitted into :t groove in partition E, son@ to remove theA '.lhe adrnntages claimed for my machine are, that the milk acted upon by the dnsh, fig.' 3, i3 forced against,

the concave, letter' A, in i'igs.. 1 and 2, and forced over the breast C, then around from Ithese slow' tno concaveeonvex'- bottom, B B l), around, to be uguin acted upon by Vthe dash-wheel. Only a port of the the particles of milknre more thoroughly noted upon, and presented io thc-breul\'ing-up poweror" thc zinc. teeth lthe concave A. l

To use the' churn, place the dash, iig. 3, in the concave slide, put lig, 5 in slot il, figs. .l and 2, fastening pinion-wheel H by screw 1;. place on the zine top, fig. 6; pour in your milk, put on top, iig. fr, and turn the wheel G. i l l Having thus explained and described my invention, whatl cleim,'and desire to secure by Lef"^''f"l?uter1t, is- The device of `a single concnve breast, with 'motel points, the eonvex-concave bottom l the elevated breast C, through the openings F F, tige. l und 2, in combinationwith perforatef ,A in Eg. d, dush,-iigl. 3, and seroll-top, lig. 6, enclosed in mbox, substantially as herein set forth.
